Custom Sports Mouth Guards

A custom sports mouth guard is a soft protective device covering the teeth that acts as a shock absorber during sport activities. Mouth guards instantly reduce injuries to the teeth, lips, jaw, cheeks and the mouth.

Playing sport is a great way to stay fit, improve coordination and socialise with others. Every year, many people – young, old, big and small – see the dentist because of tooth injury from sports activities.

Damage to the mouth can range from minor to severe. The most common are tooth injuries, such as fractures, chipping and damage to the nerve of the teeth, but also cuts to the lips and cheeks. Such injuries are often very painful and expensive to treat. Many injuries can easily be prevented by using a customised mouth guard. This is why we recommend sports participants get a custom mouth guard fitted, as an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure.

High injury-risk sports are:

football

rugby

hockey

cricket

martial arts

trail bike riding

We recommend a custom-made mouth guard issued by the dentist. They are comfortable to wear, easy to speak with and don’t obstruct breathing.

What to expect when getting a sports mouth guard?

The dentist will take a mould of your mouth and make the mouth guard. Once made (allow 2 weeks), our staff will show you how to use and properly clean and care for your new mouth guard. Mouth guards will show signs of wear and tear over time and will need replacing.
